Optimism vs. Pessimism

Matt and I couldn't decide who was the optimist and who was the pessimist. This string is a battle between the two. It kinda goes back and forth.



Matt: Well, Id rather go the way of an Anurysm. I think it would be really painless
Michele: Um, no, I think it would be really painful, like the worlds worst migraine
Matt: Or extreme relief, like, popping the biggest zit you've ever had. The zit of life.
Michele: So does that make me the pessimist, since I see it as extreme pain?
Matt: Yea, I see it as relief.
Michele: Well obviously you are the glass half full and I am the glass half empty...
Matt: hahahaha. true.
Michele: Oh, wait. No, you want to die, I want to live. Guess that makes me the optimist.
Matt: Shit.

Outcome:
Michele: Optomist
Matt: Pessimist

Crossing the street...

Flashing hand..

Matt: Oh we can make it.

Hand stops flashing.

Michele: WE CAN STILL DO IT
(runs across the street -- Matt waits -- Michele victory dances on other side)

Matt: obviously you thought you would survive, I thought I would die. You win, yet again.

Outcome:
Matt: Pessimist
Michele: Optimist

more to come...
